Spring maybe?!?!

Officially its spring, but I'm not so sure its really here yet. Mom is asking when it will be summer numerous times a day, and following me around all the time. I'm under-motivated and feeling less than creative.

Last week we did life drawing in our Art group. Good but am I ever rusty. I would like to be able to take weekly classes again. Some day!


I have started a painting of orchids two times, and then covered the canvas with gesso to start it again. The only thing I did do is an abstract acrylic. I call it Butterfly.

No computers and dishwasher repairs!!!

Why is it "stuff" always breaks down in multiples!!! Computer seized up and ended up having to be cleaned out and reloaded. As a results its going to be a while before all is back to where we can find it readily. Bookmarks being one area that was not completely saved, so I even had a challenge finding this Blog!

I did manage to finish some painting this week.

This is a painting of orchids that I did using acrylics. Red iron oxide background. Not quite as " removed" as I had wanted it, but I did learn a lot about colour and contrast.

There is also a watercolour of ice ponds that I finally finished. Same photo source as the pastel I did a couple of weeks ago.
